I was fighting the Darak Boss and my game crashed in the middle of the second stage. After having loaded my game, Darak disappeared and my quest is still showing incomplete, so I canā€™t progress for that quest. I encountered a similar issue that prevented me from progressing for the Rookery quest where my game crashed in the middle of the cutscene after defeating Warrick. So I started a new world and caught up to where I left off in my original world and continued on from there. But I donā€™t want to start another world AGAIN after having to trace my steps after the first world. This is unfortunately really deterring me from continuing to play because I donā€™t want to repeatly playing catch up with a previous world I made only to be stopped at another bug that prevents me from progressing. Please help, this is such a fun game for me ā˜¹ .

Hello ! Me and my friend are playing a coop realm and when we were doing Darakā€™s boss fight, during his second phase AOE that hit three times and grows each time, my friend and I both crashed at the same time at the third impact. When we rejoined our game and arrived at the entrance of the boss room, the cinematic didnā€™t launch / the room had a red foggy floor and Darak wasnā€™t in the room, it was empty. We disconnected and reconnected multiple times / got to the room, same thing. We waited for more than an hour to replay and only mobs had respawned but not Darak. We canā€™t go through the room because it has an invisible wall at the end because we did not beat the boss yet and iā€™m kind of lost on what to do to resolve this except restarting a new game completely.

After I tried typing it, the website said that the information I attached was incomplete or something like that. So I tried typing it again, but it still didnā€™t work. The problem Iā€™m facing is exactly the same as the one you posted. ---
